I don't think it crashed the game, I think it's added because of people desyncing the server using the torch multiple times to dupe. So if the game detects too many torches going off in a time period, it drops the game.

I remember when torches first came out people were duping with that method.

Thats not entirely fair, though....if you untimer Blizz/Meteor, then you also un-nerf SF and go back to when it could bring monsters down to 1 HP even in Hell. Of course a spammable spell that takes the entire screen down to 1 hit in a few casts is going to be better than a spammable cold or fire with a small AoE

I just started playing again, and I'm finding that for starting out fresh with no gear at all, a Magezon build (Freezing Arrow/Immolation Arrow) is a viable way to go.

It doesn't matter how bad your gear is, because you're killing with your spells, not your gear. So far the only Unique I've found for myself is a 5% Manald Heal; my bow is still a 3os Stag bow with 2 x Tir's and a Ral in it. lol

Honestly it reminds me a lot of playing a Meteorb Sorc, just something different for a change. I've made so many of those, the timer on Immolation Arrow doesn't even bother me. I just spam a couple of freezing, drop an Immolation, repeat.

I'm still in Nightmare, so obviously Hell will be the real test, but I'd like to see what this build can do when geared. I know the Magezon is nothing new, but in the past people have always seemed to favor Explosive Arrow. I'm determined to see what Immolation can do.
